Moments of melody coming your way, five minutes to help you begin your day. In the window of the grocery store was a sign, wanted a delivery boy. A strong lad called and inquired about the wages, hours, vacation, and then asked, Do you provide a bicycle? No, replied the grocer. Well, said the boy, I'm not going to carry your heavy groceries all over town. I don't want the job unless you'll give me a bicycle to use. An hour later, a bright teenager walked in. Could he have the job? He needed work to help his widowed mother. The grocer looked the boy over and said, Don't you want to know about the wages, hours, and so on? No, said the lad, I just want the job. Once more the grocer said, Well, don't you want to know whether we provide a bicycle to deliver the goods? No, please, said the lad, I'll deliver them on foot. Can I have the job? Then the grocer told him about the boy who lost the job because he demanded a bicycle. You see, he explained, we don't keep a bicycle because we provide a nice new station wagon for delivering. How typical of us that we are ever asking God for a bicycle when all the time he has something better for us. Ask God what he wants you to do, but leave the transportation with him." I asked the Lord to comfort me when things weren't going my way. He said to me, I will comfort you and lift your cares away. Lord, to walk with me when darkness was all that I knew. He said to me, never be afraid, for I will see you through. I didn't ask. For riches, He gave me wealth untold. The moon, the stars, the sun, the sky, And gave me eyes to behold. I thanked the Lord for everything. and I count my blessings each day. He came to me when I needed him. I only had to pray. And he'll come to you if you ask him to his own Think Paul's letter to the Ephesians. May you be able to feel and understand, as all God's children should, how long, how wide, how deep and how high his love really is, and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it, or fully know or understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with God Himself. Now glory be to God. who by His mighty power at work within us, is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or dream of, infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes. May He be given glory forever and ever through endless ages because of His master plan of salvation for the Church through Jesus Christ.
